What&#039;s wrong with my phone line?<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Resolution====<br /> Information from the QWest website regarding DSL availability:<br /> <br /> &quot;If your telephone line is served by Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) equipment,<br /> you will not be able to receive MegaBit Service. A DLC is a multiplexing<br /> device in that telephone network used to provide economical voice service<br /> to high growth and suburban areas. We are working on solutions to the DLC<br /> DLC limitation with vendors. Once a solution is developed, we&#039;ll post that<br /> information on www.megaspeed.com.<br /> <br /> If the telephone wire between the Qwest Central Office and your<br /> premises is longer than 15,000 feet, you will not be able to receive<br /> MegaBit Service. The speed over which your line can transmit data is<br /> limited by the length of your telephone wire. At distances over 15,000<br /> feet, MegaBit data transmission becomes unreliable. Please note that<br /> 15,000 feet the length of your telephone wire, not the physical distance<br /> between your service location and the Qwest Central Office. Other<br /> factors such as temperature, wire gauge, and condition of the wire may<br /> raise or lower the effective distance at which MegaBit Service can be<br /> offered.<br /> <br /> If our testing reveals the presence of bridge taps, wire gauge changes or<br /> load coils on your telephone line, you will not presently be able to<br /> receive MegaBit Service. These devices are used to condition lines for<br /> higher quality voice signals. Unfortunately, they negatively impact<br /> MegaBit data transmission.&quot;</div>
